The KWIEC had five major goals carried into 2007

1. Completion of the Mobile Data Project �

2. Completion of the Voice Mutual Aid and Interoperability Project �

3. Pursuit of a strategic initiative for the exchange of wireless data among public safety agencies (KYWINS Messenger) �

4. Participation in the SAFECOM Pilot Project �

5. Upgrade the Eastern half of the Kentucky Emergency

Warning System (KEWS)

KWIEC Rearticulated Goals 2007

1. Continue efforts to improve statewide Interoperability for public safety

2. Install all of the new Digital Microwave systems in the Eastern Segment of the Kentucky Emergency Warning System (KEWS)

3. Increase public awareness and utilize outreach programs to promote Public Safety and Communications Interoperability effort

©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky

Questions

Strategic Communications Plan

Mary Pedersen

Strategic Communications Interoperability Plan

Mary Pedersen

Chief Information Officer

Strategy: Kentucky will implement a

strategy that requires identifying a

baseline of public safety

communications across the

Commonwealth, leveraging existing

efforts to improve communications and

interoperability, and building a

backbone that enhances interoperability

statewide.

Near-Term Initiatives

1. Enhance State Voice Mutual Aid System: Provide additional infrastructure for added channel capacity within the exiting mutual aid frequency bands.

2. Complete the KEWS Upgrade: Complete all civil work, radio and network equipment installation and testing, and move all communications traffic to the KEWS digital microwave network.

3. Streamline 911 Dispatch Services: Network all PSAPS across Kentucky

4. Implement Strategic Technology Reserve: Deploy seven new Mobile Communication Centers and upgrade existing KSP Mobile Command Vehicles.

Long-Term Initiatives

1. Achieve Close to 100% Statewide Coverage: Identify baseline of statewide communications to include inventory of local communications assets. Expand coverage by improving and constructing infrastructure-inventory, categorize and prioritize “dead spots.”

2. WiMAX: Deploy WiMAX or other high speed solution across the KEWS microwave digital network. Solution will replace the current IPMobileNET solution as Kentucky’s primary public safety data network. IPMobileNET will be sustained for use as a secondary network in the more deeply penetrated areas and as the primary network for agencies outside the WiMAX net.

PSIC Grant Status

• Submitted State Strategy on December 3, 2007

• Received independent review results March 2008

• Submitted requested modification

• Final review by March 31, 2008

• Funds available???? APRIL 2008

Tangible Benefits Now!

Benefits

This site located at New Bernheim Forest was isolated by the recent ice storm (2008). As a result of this upgrade the following benefits were realized:

– No call out was required and no KEWS technician needed to risk life or limb to get to this site during the storm

– The emergency Generator system worked flawlessly and kept this site fully operational for two days without commercial power

– After the weather cleared three techs worked for 16 hours using chainsaws to get to the site

– Absolutely NO communications outage occurred!

©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky

Benefits - After Upgrade

• Provide a guaranteed 99.9996% RF link reliability rate across the network (multi-path outages of less than 90 seconds per year)

• Reduce user downtime by using the automated reroute capabilities of MPLS • Provide improved circuit quality to customers (Typically First responders)• Provide improved services to end users• Provide additional link cross-connections between key sites (minimizes multi-hop

traffic)• Provide additional bandwidth (>400% of current capacity)• Provide a statewide digital microwave network using MPLS technology• Provide remote monitoring and management of all equipment deployed in the

new network • Provide bandwidth to meet current requirements and allow for greater than a

50% growth • Create new and detailed site records for all KEWS sites (tower, rack face

elevations, power, grounding, structural, etc.)• Provide improved security and equipment protection at selected sites • Provide upgraded grounding and power in selected areas• Provides direct support to communications convergence (VoIP, etc.)• Provide redundancy at key sites not previously protected

Issues

• Issue: No ability to monitor DMARCS site

failures.

• Solution: Implement a Fault Management

Control System

• Concern- Without this capability we can’t

monitor outages of radio sites. If this happen

during a emergency our users would be without

communications for a critical amount of time.

• System would not only service our system but

also the Interoperability and KSP systems.

©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky

Issues

• Issue: Some users have non P25 radios

that won’t work on our system

• Solution: Funding for State Fire Marshall

Office and Natural Resources office to

purchase new radios

• Concern- No communication with EOC

during an emergency event

©2005 Commonwealth of Kentucky

Issue

• ISSUE: INTEROPERABILITY EXERCISE PLAN

• SOLUTION: PLAN AND EXECUTE MULTI-

JURISDICTION COMMUNICATIONS EXERCISES

• CONCERN: STATE, FEDERAL AND LOCAL

JURISDICTIONS REQUIRE PLANNERS AND C2

FOR EXERCISES TO ENHANCE THEIR ABILITY

TO CONDUCT INTEROPERABLE COMM

OPERATIONS.
